I'm releasing Saera version 2.3 for SFOS only now, to hopefully be followed by the Maemo and Harmattan releases in the next few weeks. What's new here:
  • The updated navigation engine has finally arrived! This includes fixes such as looking at position relative to the path instead of going waypoint-to-waypoint for improved accuracy and less chance of losing the route.
  • When Saera is speaking, any music playing is paused so that information can be clearly heard.
  • Added a Settings page. This allows you to enable online voice recognition, which is disabled by default for privacy, but which when enabled improves recognition accuracy and vocabulary.
  • Fixed display issues on high pixel density screens (Jolla C, OnePlus X, etc)
  • Added support for flite (which is a separate package, because it's big)
  • Fixed a lot of other miscellaneous bugs

A few things that I started working on did not make it into this release, as they are not finished yet and I wanted to get this released before the coding competition was over. These include more settings on the settings page, reading out text messages and possibly dictation. I expect to release those sometime soon though.
